EDIT Mar 10/2010: please see Ayuthia's post in this dev thread - he keeps it very current.
An Overall log and HowTo up until now.
Get ready - it's a long one.
NOTE! This was done on Ubuntu 9.10 (32 bit) Remix distro - fresh install. It may not work for anything else, however I am fairly confident that it is generic. One difference is the 10-wacom.fdi file is called 10-linuxwacom.fdi in Karmic.
EDIT: This also uses linuxwacom-0.8.4-3 which is not the most current. Keep an eye out for an update to the latest linuxwacom.
EDIT: It likely goes without saying, BUT just to be sure...
THIS IS NOT MY WORK! Although I have had a small part to play, the faithful here are Favux and Ayuthia (may this be a tribute =D>)
Many of the rest of us test and report or try new things to add to the mix. It is team work at it's best. Thanks everyone! 
Also, the '#'s are root shell prompts from the 'sudo bash' command. You can use 'sudo' commands instead - if you'd rather not be in a root bash shell. for editing, I use 'vi' but 'gksudo gedit' works better if you don't know the vi editor. I'm from the old school
One more thing - I'll likely need to make edits, so check back. I will mark edits carefully.
in Terminal...
Code:
$ sudo bash
Password: *********
Code:
# apt-get update
EDIT: skip next 2 lines for Karmic (thanks Dnprossi)
# apt-get install wacom-tools xserver-xorg-input-wacom
# apt-get purge wacom-tools xserver-xorg-input-wacom
# apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libxi-dev x11proto-input-dev
# apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev tk8.4-dev tcl8.4-dev libncurses5-dev
# apt-get install libhal-dev
# apt-get upgrade
If running Ubuntu Karmic Remix or other minimal distro, you may have to do:
Code:
# wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/ubuntu/linux-2.6/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h
# cp ./hid-ids.h /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h
# apt-get install patch
see Ayuthia's Patches For LinuxWacom post #144, for a full how to BEFORE the doing the next steps.
You may not need them all.
EDIT: The following file does not appear available any longer. It can be accessed here (Thanks James-)
See above EDIT After downloading linuxwacom-.8.4-3.tar.bz2 from http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/dl and Ayuthia's patches...
Code:
# tar -xjvf linuxwacom-0.8.4-3.tar.bz2
# tar -xjvf wcm2_patch.tar.bz2
# cp wcm2_patch/*.patch linuxwacom-0.8.4-3/
# cd linuxwacom-0.8.4-3/
EDIT: Previous typo in tar command (Thanks dnprossi 
)
Each of the following should execute without output...
Code:
# patch -p1 < wacomcpl-exec.patch
# patch -p1 < wacom_sys.c.patch
# patch -p1 < wacom_wac.c.patch
# patch -p1 < wacom_wac.h.patch
# patch -p1 < wactablet.h.patch
# patch -p1 < wacusb.c.patch
# patch -p1 < wcmUSB.c.patch
(there's lots of output but there should be no errors at the end of each of the next steps)
EDIT: Note that the next step is for my kernel version - i.e. you may need 2.6.28 instead of 2.6.31
Code:
# make clean
# ./configure --enable-wacom --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install
# cp src/2.6.31/wacom.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/
Next, because the module was never used (if it was, use 'rmmod wacom' first)...
Code:
# insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/input/tablet/wacom.ko
# depmod -e
EDIT: you'll get a warning here in Karmic re "WARNING: -e needs -E or -F" - disregard
I got Favux's fdi file Favux_Bamboo-Pen&Touch-working_10-wacom.fdi.txt from post #384 and did
EDIT: Typo in next file name - missed "Favux_..." - how could I!?
Code:
# cp Favux_Bamboo-Pen\&Touch-working_10-wacom.fdi.txt /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi
(NOTE: the destination file would be /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-wacom.fdi for Jaunty.
Also, be sure there is only one wacom file in that directory - if you have both, 'rm' the one you don't need!)
(You could edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf at this point - I didn't - see Favux's post #384)
create (or edit) either /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-linuxwacom.fdi (if running Ubuntu Karmic)
or /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-wacom.fdi (for Ubuntu Jaunty)
Replace the complete contents with the following (this is for my tablet, check Favux's post #384):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<!-- Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch (models CTT-460 CTL-460 CTH-460,461,660) -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="input.originating_device" contains="if0">
<match key="info.product" contains="Wacom">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">wacom</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Type" type="string">stylus</merge>
<merge key="info.product" type="string">stylus</merge>

<device>

<merge key="input.x11_options.Type" type="string">touch</merge>
<merge key="info.product" type="string">touch</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
NOTE! According to my tests, this next step is needed whether using a fdi file or xorg.conf!
Determine the tablet's ID:
Code:
# lsusb
...
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 056a:00d1 Wacom Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:0737 Microsoft Corp.
...
(note that 00d1 above relates to next edit - your value may be different - see below in ATTRS line)
EDIT: dnprossi reports that the next steps (wget and cp) are not required if the insmod and depmod commands are successful (Thanks dnprossi )
EDIT2: I still feel we need the next changes as you end up without devices in /dev/input (udev's job) so you have nothing to use for wacdump etc? Not sure tho. The jury is out on this one still. Note: At first I confused /etc/udev and lib/udev - use /lib/udev
If the 40-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules file doesn't exist, then do:
Code:
# wget -O 50-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules "http://git.debian.org/?p=users/ron/wacom-tools.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/xserver-xorg-input-wacom.udev;hb=e110b046292d6aff63b489c9b1aecec25d470cdb"
then edit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules and on or about line 88 (@ end of a long list) insert this line:
EDIT: change 00d1 to your ID from the previous lsusb command - if it's different
Code:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="056a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="00d1", SYMLINK="input/tablet-wacom-bamboo-pen_touch-$env{WACOM_TYPE}"
EDIT: And of course, put it in place (Thanks Ubunty 
)
Code:
# cp 50-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules /lib/udev/rules.d/40-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules
That was about it... if you've been using a root shell...
else just...
and reboot.
Post back if you have problems.
EDIT: Ha! Told you For others posting solutions, please let me know of errors or omissions and I'll edit. Best to PM me.
Favux or Ayuthia, if you'd rather take (copy) and update this post, that would be fine with me also. I could edit and/or delete it then.
EDIT: wrong URLs
